Product Overview

Cassette Mallets.01 features a collection of three bell and mallet instruments recorded on a vintage cassette recorder, offering a unique, characterful sound. The library combines physical modeling and FM synthesis, providing a playable range from E2 to E6, making it suitable for various musical contexts.

Details

Each instrument is designed with three velocity layers, ensuring expressive performance across dynamics. The user interface is straightforward and synth-like, facilitating easy sound design. A notable feature is the editable “sample start” parameter, which allows for the removal of initial transients, enhancing the overall sound shaping process. Additionally, an “-12” switch enables octave transposition, allowing for deeper tonal exploration.

Noise management is handled thoughtfully; each note has been denoised to prevent stacking artifacts while still retaining some natural noise for realism. A dedicated noise knob offers independent control over noise levels, allowing for flexible sound design. The library also includes simulated round-robin functionality, enhancing the realism of faster passages. Overall, Cassette Mallets.01 provides a rich palette of organic sounds with subtle imperfections, ideal for those seeking vintage textures in their compositions.
